5.0 out of 5 stars one of canada's best punk albums of all time, December 17, 2002

this lp-long out of print, is in fact a mini album.It contains not only DOA's best songs ever-it is the perfect DOA album. All
14 tracks are killer with no filler to 'sum' it up....there is even
a hilarious version of Led Zeppelin's 'Communication Breakdown". If one has to own two killer canadian punk cds
this album coupled with their first album 'something better change' -THIS IS IT..It gets also a perfect score.Burnaby's finest-DOA are
legends.A band ive always loved -Now if only they rereleased The Subhumans catalogue (1978 to 1983) on
Sudden Death Records,I'd be totally thrilled.These long out
of print albums are sorely missed and need to see the light
of day once again.I love this band....

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Album, November 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hardcore '81 (Audio CD)

If you like your music loud fast and abrasive, this is the album you must get. DOA is a great band, and this thier best album. It is a non-stop flurry accented by great drumming by Chuck Biscuits. This album should be mandatory listening for anyone who wants to know what true punk music is all about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still as vibrant as the day it came it out, May 7, 2009

I have to admit I'm a little biased - I've been listening to DOA for over 30 years. This is their best album. I feel it has all the ingredients of a great punk album - loud, raw music, anti-establishment music, and humour. This is a band at its best - full of energy, make statements and doing it all with an attitude that can't be faked.

The CD has bonus songs from later EP's and don't really fit in with album, but they do fill the CD up and will guide the new listener to later work by this great band. Is this the best punk album ever? Listen to it a few times, let it grow on you and decide for yourself.
